MARKS ON GERMAN FUZES.
Practically all German fuzes are clearly marked with the
designation of the fuze (which includes the year of introduction),
followed by the distinguishing letter or mark of the establishment
where it was manufactured and the year of—manufacture. For
example, the fuze shown on pasje 35 is marked
E.K.Z. 17.
A.E.G. 17.
This stands for Etnpfiadlicher Kanonen~Ziinder,l9l7. "
Allgemeine
Mectricitats-Gesellschaft, meaning instantaneous gun fuze of the
1917 pattern, manufactured by the General Electrical Co. in1917."
Inaddition" to these marks, most fuzes have a factory series
number, e.g., 141e :> on the above-mentioned fuze.
Manufacturers' Marks.—
Fuzes are manufactured at arsenals, and also by a very large
number of private firms.
Manufacturers' marks play no part in the identification of
shells and guns, but a few of the better-known trade marks are
given below for information.

Nature. — Percussion: non-delay action only.
Material.— Zinc body and steel cap. The original X.Z. 14 fuze
{see Bemarks) is made of brass, aluminium, or zinc, with either a
brass or a steel cap.
Remarks.
—
This fuze has largely replaced the originalK.Z.14
fuze (non-delay percussion), which was introduced towards the end
of 1914 at the same time as the 1914 pattern field gun shell, and
was liable to cause prematures in the bore. The K.Z. 14 fuze is,
however, still used for long gas shell (green cross). The K.Z.14
n.A. fuze differs internally from the K.Z. 14 fuze in that the
safety powder pellet is in a brass sleeve ; externally, it differs
only in the marking and in the shape of the cap, which is more
pointed.
Another variation of the K.Z. 14 fuze, marked K.Z. 14 m.V.,
was formerly used with the 7*7 cm. long shell, but has been
replaced by the pointed fuze L.K.Z.16 m.V. It was a delay
action percussion fuze designed for ricochet fire.
K.Z. 14 fuzes were often found marked K.Z.14 Z v K.Z. 14 Zl.,
K.Z.14 Zp., and K.Z.14 Zw., and a K.Z. 14 n.A. Zl.is also found.
The abbreviations Z., Zl., Zp. and Zw. probably refer to the zinc
alloy{ZinMegierung, &c.) of which these fuzes are made, but this is
not certain.
0 or stamped on the head of a K.Z. 14 fuze indicates
a detonator of superior quality.
* . With normal charge ; the maximum range with reduced charge is
6,562 yards.

Remarks. Non-delay action fuzes are marked L-K.Z.16 O.V.

marked L.K.Z.16 m.V. (m. V. Mit Versogerung, i.e., with delay).
The non-delay action fuze has been superseded by the instantaneous
fuzes, E.K.Z.16 and E.K.Z.17 (see pages 30 and 34).
The fuze proper is placed in a pointed, mildsteel caj:>, designed
for penetrative effect and increased range.

Remarks. This fuze has largely replaced the original H.Z. 14
fuze, which was introduced towards the end of 1914 together with
the 1914 pattern light field howitzer H.E. shell, and was considered
liable to cause prematures in the bore. The H.Z. 14 fuze is, however,
stillused withgas shell (green cross).
The H.Z. 14 Fb. fuze differs internally from the H.Z.14 fuze by
the addition of a centrifugal safety bolt(Fliehbohen). Externally,
it differs only in the marking.
Ared cap and Oor -\X stamped on the head of an H.Z. 14
Fb. fuze indicate a detonator ofsuperior quality.
When used withgreen cross gas shell, the cap is painted green.
The H;Z. 14 fuze was also made with a deep groove round the
body just below the steel cap, similar to that shown on H.Z.
14 Vorst. Fliehb. on page 47.
* With Charge No. 8;the usual maximum range is 6,890 yards with

[Remarks.
—
This fuze arms in the bore.
There is a variety of this fuze, known as Gr. Z. 82 (Kp.), in
which a slight alteration is made in the interior and a steel cap
is placed over the top of the fuze. The object of these variations
is to prevent bursts in the bore and to reduce the probability
of blinds.
Gr. Z. 82 is usually employed in connection with a fuze-hole
socket or game (Mundlochfutter) and exploder (Ziindladung). In
the plate opposite, it is shown screwed into the 1880 pattern fuzehole
socket (Mdlchf. 80). When Gr. Z.82 (Kp.) is combined with
Mdlchf. 88 " and Zdlg. 82, the combination is called "Granat-
Ziinduug 88 (Gr. Zdg. 88), which is used with the 1914 and 1914 A
patterns of 15 cm. shell mentioned above.

G.Gr. Z.14 and Kz.Gr.Z.14 inwhich G and X probably
stand for "Grosser" and "Kurzer" (large and short), which
possibly refer tothe size of the exploder and the consequent length
of the game (see page 138).
Gr. Z. 14n.A. A variation which has taken the place of the

H.E. shell, but not with the universal shell. Itdiffers externally " "
from " the K.Z.11 fuzeinthat the setting stud, the marks G and
S," and the corrector scale are omitted*
The most recent pattern of " this fuze is sometimes marked
K.Z. 11 Gr.1.8., or the letters l.B."are stamped elsewhere on the
fuze.
. The cap of the K.Z. 11 Gr. fuze, when used with the 1915

yellow.

A variation of this fuze is marked K.Z.11 Gr. -=- and is a time

introduced for use with H.E. shell fired from anti-aircraft guns.
With the exception of the additional "nur Bz." (nur Brennziinder,
or tinae fuze only)in the designation and the fact that the cap is
distinctly less pointed, itis externally identical withK.Z.11 Gr.
The K.Z. 11 Gr. fuze has been largely superseded by the

When the setting mark is opposite the cross, the fuze is set

The original pattern of H.Z. 05 Gr. fuze- was graduated from
7to 53 inhundreds of metres, and a later pattern was graduated
up to* 63, the maximum ranges with time fuze being 5,796 and
6,890 yards, respectively. When the fuze was set to the red mark,
the shell burst from 30 to 90 yards from the muzzle with shrapnel
effect.
According to a German document, the latest pattern of this
fuze is only graduated up to 5,000 metres (5,468 yards).

Material. Brass body with aluminium time rings and steel cap.
Remarks. This fuze is also used with10"5 cm. blue cross gas

This fuze is an improved pattern of the original fuze, which

—
Material. Brass, or brass with zinc cap.
—
Remarks. The fuze is generally used as a percussion fuze, but
is set toact by time from 1 to 4 seconds after impact, as a precaution
incase the percussion arrangement misses fire.
The fuze cover used for night firing is shown in the plate. It
is made of thin sheet iron, japanned black, and clips or screws on
to the recess in the head of the fuze.
The original pattern of this fuze terminated in a powerful
detonator ; the exploder was placed in the top of the tin containing
the bursting charge. The present pattern is screwed into
the usual type of steel game containing the exploder.

Material. Brass body, with steel cap.
Remarks. The original pattern of this fuze was marked
Z.m.W.M., was identical in appearance and graduation, and only
differed in its designation. The present pattern was introduced
witha view to replacing Z.S.W.M. {see page 185) and providing a
fuze which can be used with either the medium or the heavy
Minenwerfer.
This fuze is so constructed that the percussion arrangement
works equally well whether the projectile strikes the ground point
first or base first. Should the percussion arrangement fail to act,
detonation is effected by the time arrangement in the fuze, which
far this purpose is set to act one or more seconds after impact.
The fuze cover used for night firing is shown in the plate.
Itis made of thin sheet iron, japanned black, and is screwed on to
a flanged washer of the same metal, interposed between the fuze
and the head of the shell.
